How to use the Timeline Maker

  1. Write one event per line: date | title | description.
  2. Choose a vertical or horizontal layout and a colour theme.
  3. Download as SVG or PNG for slides, documents or websites.

What does this tool do?

Timelines make sequences easy to grasp at a glance — company history, project milestones, historical events or a personal story. Events alternate sides so labels never collide.

Diagrams are drawn in your browser as SVG — crisp at any size and editable in Figma, Illustrator or Inkscape.

Why use it?

  • Vertical or horizontal.
  • Automatic text wrapping.
  • SVG and PNG export.
